#Toaster Help
3 messages in this thread
Hi All,
I have a Toaster 2000 in a A2000 with an 040. I think that I am having a
chromFX problem. I use the Toaster primarily for lightwave. The problem I am
having is that when displaying the image as rendered in lightwave I get a large
horizontal band covering the bottom two thirds of the image. The band is
definatly a chromeffect but I am unable to determine why it is there. I do not
use the ChromFX program but I know that it is a chroma effect because I can get
it to roll on the dv or on live video by playing with the chromafx interface.
It will also show up on any video that is coming in from channel 1, Although I
am able to clear it by selecting channel 1 on the superimpose bus. If I turn
the superimpose bus off it comes back. Or if I select either DV1 or 2 it will
also be there. I am at a total loss on this one. It just started and I cant get
rid of it.
Any help would be greatly appreaciated!

Rick,
You have a problem. Either your hardware or software is broken slightly. You
have also discovered how we come up with such cool effects: something breaks,
it looks good, we call it a feature.
If it's a hardware problem, a good wiggling and reseating might help out
somewhat.
Have you made any system changes recently? An AutoHue wouldn't hurt any at
this point.

Bruce,
I have done botht the wiggling the resetting and dthe autohue numerous times. I
do think that it is a software problem though. I guess my next step is to
reinstall the software and try again. I cant imagine that it is hardware when
in some modes I can get rid of it.
Thanks for the reply!
Rick
